Application filed August 2, 1911.

standing base flange 15, by which it is secured to the floor of therecess 9 by a screw 16. The pin 14 has a base flange 17 which is placedon top of the flange 12. The screw 16 passes through the flange 17 also,and therefore serves to fasten both pins in the recess. The pins 12 andlt are located between the ends of the slits 8 and 10 opening into therecess 9, and the thread passes from the bobbin through the slit 8,around the pin 12 and then through the slit 14: and the eye 11. Theshuttle is threaded by bringing the thread through the slits and recess.That portion of the thread which lies in the recess in then slippedupwardly on the pin 14: and over the top thereof, so as to come betweensaid pin and the pin 12. The top of the pin 14 is curved slightly towardthe pin 12, so that the thread may slip easily over the same.

The device herein described obviates sucking of the shuttle, makes abetter selvage, causes less breaking of the filling, and will allow therunning of fine filling, and is also adapted for silk filling weavingthrough one eye, whereas other shuttles require two eX- tra eyes.

I claim:

A loom shuttle having a recess in front of the bobbin cavity, andvertical slits running forward from said cavity to the recess andrearward from the recess to the side of the shuttle, a thread guide-pinin the recess, and having at its top a sidewise and downward bend, and aguard pin located adjacent to the guide pin, beneath the top bendthereof.

In testimony whereof I afliX my signature in presence of two witnesses.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, EDWARD Monnrss, a.citizen of the United States, residing at New Bedford, in the county ofBristol and State of Massachusetts, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Loom- Shuttles, of which the following is aspecification.

This invention relates to loom shuttles and more particularly to thedevice for threading the shuttle, its object being to provide animproved device by which the shuttle may be easily and quickly threadedwithout suction, and to this end the inven tion consists in a novelconstruction and arrangement of parts to be hereinafter described andclaimed.

In order that the invention may be better understood, reference is hadto the accompanying drawing forming a part of this specification, inwhich drawing- Figure 1 is a plan view of the delivery end of a shuttleshowing the application 0 the invention, Fig. 2 is a side elevationthereof, and Fig. 3 is a section on the line 3-3 of Fig. 1.

Referring specifically to the drawing, 5 denotes the body of theshuttle, and 6 the cavity in which the bobbin 7 lies. From the bobbincavity a slit 8 extends forwardly to a recess 9 in the body of theshuttle, near the end thereof, and from one side of this recess a slit10 extends rearwardly through the shuttle body and opens through oneside thereof adjacent to a threading eye 11.

In the recess 9 is mounted a thread guidepin 12, having its top end bendsidewise and downwardly in a curve, as shown at 18, in Fig. 3, wherebythe thread is prevented from slipping off. A guard pin 14: is alsoprovided, said pin being located adjacent to the pin 12, with its upperend located beneath the bend 13. The pin 12 has an out- Witnesses:
